[Overseasmom100]

So a friend does afternoon tea boxes delivered to yr door with...
Selection of finger sandwiches
Slice of quiche
Scones, jam & cream
lemon drizzle slice
Brownies
Carrot cake cupcake
Ind wrapped tea bags
Napkins

Ive suggested a festive one...what would expect or like to see in a festive one?

Got to be turkey and stuffing sandwiches, pigs in blankets and a mince pie!

And Christmas cake of course

Ah so we had a discussion about Christmas Cake...I love it and would like a slice of it with marzipan and iced plus it could made before and kept or small lityle individual ones on a little board BUT so many people dont like it!!!

Turkey and stuffing sarnies great idea...
She is def including..

Scones with jam and clotted cream pot
Chocolate Brownies with christmas topper
What else would make it festive?

Shaped short bread eg trees snowman etc

Ah yes biscuit lovely addition

Scones and jam aren't festive?

After eights, chocolate orange?
, a hot chocolate stick

Turkey and stuffing sandwiches
Mince pies
Mulled wine
Egg nog
Gingerbread
Candy canes

Brownies with silver decoration
Snowball truffles?

Mini bubble and squeak made with sprouts?

I'd happily swap brownies (boring) for Christmas cake.
Optional mini bottle of champagne (not prosecco)?
Tiny squares of panforte.
Chocolate coins. Marzipan fruits. (But only if it's good marzipan.) Crystallised fruits. Satsumas dipped in chocolate. Chocolate orange peel.

Candy cane brownies? Sticky toffee cupcake? Cranberry and white chocolate rocky road?

Snickerdoodle cookies? They are a cinnamon sugar cookies, dull sounding, but very tasty!

Mary Berry has a christmas cake traybake which is always very popular with people - you get all the lovely fruit, marzipan and icing, but its not heavy

For me it would be sausage rolls, shortbread biscuits, gingerbread or lebukuchen type biscuits, mini mince pies, some sort of fruit cake, turkey and cranberry sarnie, ham and mustard sarnie, stilton and broccoli quiche. No brownies.

Stollen bites.

Could the jam for scones be something Christmassy like spiced marmalade, cranberry or mulled apple? Turkey/Brie and cranberry/roast gammon/smoked salmon sandwiches. Brussel sprout and bacon quiche? Mini mince pie, Yule log, stollen, panatone?

A Christmas Dinner sandwich and a boxing day one with ham, mustard, coleslaw etc :)

Mini Yorkshire pudding with a bit of roast beef and Stilton or Chutney in the middle

Could do a tiny prawn mayo sandwich or prawn flatbread thing as a nod to starters

Mini cheese board with tiny cubes of cranberry wensleydale, brie and cheddar on a cracker?

Mini stollen bites

Mini yule logs

Christmas cake keeps so well she could offer it as an optional extra?
Rocky road seems to appear in lots of Christmas mags tho not sure I'd think of it as festive. Easy to make though. Scones not festive but I do like a scone with an afternoon tea!

Old fashioned chocolate truffles, based on cake crumbs and rolled in chocolate sprinkles, in a paper case.

Shortbread

Lebkuchen filled with apricot jam

Marzipan fruit or walnuts sandwiched with marzipan

Peppermint creams and Turkish delight

And an individual raspberry trifle

Hot chocolate stick and posh marshmallows
Mince pie type item
Mini Yule log
Shortbread
Spiced tea
Slice of christmas cake
Brie and cranberry savory
Turkey item of some description
A christmas bauble or decoration of some sort?

You have to have scones in an afternoon tea! How about savoury: cheese scones with soft cheese and festive chutney?

Little sherry trifle pots

Pigs in blanket sausage rolls

Fabulous ideas here thank you

Smoked salmon on a blini
Turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce sandwiches.
Sausage roll
Ham
Stilton
Crackers
Chutney
Brussels sprout coleslaw

Mince pie
Stollen bits
Lebkuchen
Iced shortbread biscuit
Pastéis de Nata - Portuguese Christmas custard tarts

Stuffed date
Peppermint candy cane sweet
Marzipan fruit

Booze/hot chocolate

Stilton & crackers
Rich gingerbread, possibly iced
Smoked salmon & blinis
Truffle chocolates
Sherry trifle
Dates, chocolate dipped or marzipan stuffed
Ham & pickle/chutney sandwich

How about offering a choice of cakes so that those who don't like Christmas cake can have something else, like Yule log?

Lovely suggestions thank you

Actual slice of carrot cake rather than the abomination that is a cupcake.
